10 month post op tummy tuck

I can't believe, it has been already 10 month post op surgery. Still stuck in swell hell mode with any type of activity. Pretty active person, any significant weight gain, semi clean diet, love life w/ hubby great;) Everything is will in place in while.

Find an answer from old question on the forum, about the swollen part. And find it interesting.

The area right above the stitch line in the lower tummy will stay swollen longer, and will seem puffy long after the rest of your tummy is looking great. Expect the area above the stitch line to very slowly improve over 12 -18 months.

I'll check with my ps on my 1 year post op about this swelling going beyond month after the operation.

I wish you a good luck in your tummy tuck planning or recovery.

Next week 3 month post op

I haven't been posting for a while. So busy, to taking care if my nephew and niece plus my own children(2).

I went back yesterday to my boxing aerobic then today the lower
abs is swollen:(.

Any activities increase the swelling area, only resting is the solution. But I was in this situation for 1 month and half. Not really motivated to write anything about it. Because no change is happening. It's the normal for the healing process.

I order on Amazon Scaraway for C-section before to leave for my trip. Also Continuing my maintenance regime by moisturizing my scar and supplementing with vitamin C, folate acid.

I'm leaving next week for France to visit relatives and vacationing with my hubby no kids (8 days). Being in the beach will be a challenge too.

My swelling is acting up again

I'm swelling...oh nooooo. I was fine for a few days and then Kaboum...
My scar is fading slowly, the swelling plays with me in and out. I know it's part of the healing process and sodium intake. So far, I'm glad with my surgery no regret only joy;)
